Chapter 683: Gallic Wine
These American imports, grown in the Northeast, all have good yields and are of pretty good quality.
These crops were transported to the Southern Tang Dynasty and Western Qin in exchange for several times the income that exceeded the actual payment. The greater source of wealth of the Northern Han Dynasty was the overseas mines and the huge slave trade.
The huge slave trade brought an astonishing amount of cheap labor to the Northern Han Dynasty, further reducing the labor cost of various estates in the Northeast region.
At this time, the Northern Han Dynasty, Chen Fang had no doubt that its own strength had reached the point where it was about to crush the Tang Dynasty and Western Qin.
Sea ships, gunpowder, giant humans discovered in the Americas, and slaves can also be used as cannon fodder when wars are waged, allowing regular troops to reduce casualties.
When will this vast and aggressive maritime empire show its sharp minions to its people in the south and west?
When the minions of the Northern Han were revealed, how long could the Tang Dynasty and the Western Qin resist, or how long could the Northern Han Dynasty unify the three huge Han states.
The beef and potatoes on the plate had been eaten, and Chen Fang placed the silver spoon on the same silver plate.
"Xiao Mo, or?"
There Liu Yi asked him softly, and saw Xiao Mo shake his head.
"Today, the caravan brought wine from Western Qin, I heard that it is from Gaul, a vassal country of Western Qin, do you want to taste it."
"Oh, Your Highness, I don't know much about drinking."
"Just drink less."
There, Liu Yi summoned the maid and asked her to fetch the Gallic wine that the caravan had just brought to the Northern Han.
The wine glasses used to hold the wine were goblets made of crystal, which were made of real crystal, not the glasses sold in the Western Qin.
The two crystal goblets were gently placed on the table by the maid, and a bottle of Gallic wine was slowly poured into the crystal glass, like a pigeon's blood, Liu Yi gently shook the crystal goblet, and then raised a glass to Chen Fang.
"Xiao Mo, let's have a drink!"
"Your Highness, I really don't know how to drink."
"Just a drink!"
Chen Fang was helpless, raised the wine glass, and as the wine entered his mouth, as the goblet in Liu Yi's hand was placed on the table, Chen Fang fell directly on the table and was drunk.
Every wine must be drunk, whether it is the rice wine brewed by the farmer, the chrysanthemum wine in the court, the glutinous rice wine in Shaoxing, or the wine produced in Gaul at this time, Chen Fang is drunk with a glass.
Liu Yi looked at Chen Fang, who was lying on the table and drunk, at this time, the last slanting sun shone on his body, giving him a layer of light gold, Liu Yi gently stroked his long hair with his hand.
Well, in this era, men also have hair, body hair and skin, and in the era of parents, it is almost impossible to cut hair, and it is generally necessary to shave it. Ordinary people will never cut their own hair in their lives.
Stroking Chen Fang's long hair, Liu Yi lowered her head slightly, and her lips were close to Chen Fang's ear.
"You drink like him, just drink a little and get drunk."
After she said that, Wan Er smiled, gently hugged Chen Fang, and carried him back to the dormitory.
The weight of an adult man, in the eyes of this princess of the Northern Han Dynasty, seemed to be nothing.
She gently put Chen Fang on the bed, and then covered him with a quilt.
At this time, he took off his clothes, got into the quilt, hugged Chen Fang, caressed his face with his hands, and looked at him drunk and asleep.
"If I didn't know that the concubine of the Southern Tang Dynasty accompanied the queen to Luoyang, I really thought you were him. The true image of your birth is simply carved out of a mold. Xiao Mo, do you know how much I like you. ”
Looking at the sleeping Chen Fang, Liu Yi couldn't help but kiss him gently, from the forehead to the corners of the lips, from the corners of the lips to the neck, kissed the fingertips of the beloved man's arms, and kissed the chest and lower abdomen of the beloved man.
"Xiao Mo, when I was in the Southern Tang Dynasty, I was so jealous of the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, not for anything else, just for the concubine of the Southern Tang Dynasty, I was thinking at that time, how good it would be for me to have such a man one day. I asked him to come with me to Dahan, but he didn't agree. I should have killed him, but I couldn't. ”
"Heaven favored me to meet you, Xiao Mo, I just used you as a substitute for him at first, but now, I really like you."
The warm lips were stained with Chen Fang's lips, and the kiss was deep for a long time, as if this kiss could kiss the earth and the heavens.
Liu Yi stroked Chen Fang's cheek, confiding in him word by word, time flowed slowly, she snuggled in Chen Fang's arms, listening to his powerful heartbeat, she casually flicked towards the candle in the room, an invisible energy blew through the candle flame, and the candle flame went out.
The room was dark, Liu Yi closed her eyes gently, her cheek was buried in Chen Fang's chest, time flowed slowly, and she fell asleep.
In the arms of the beloved man, she slept very peacefully, her even low breathing, her soft daughter's cheeks, the jade fingers pressed on Chen Fang's shoulders, and the nails dyed with cardamom were perfectly trimmed.
The night was deep, and Chen Fang was awakened by a nightmare, in which he saw the continuous flames of war and the burning flags. With a roar, the ironclad cavalry in iron armor wailed in the flames, the body of the war horse was engulfed in flames, and the heavy armor worn by the cavalry could not resist the power of the gunpowder explosion and diffusion.
"Xiao Mo, you're awake!"
Chen Fang was awakened by a nightmare, and naturally woke up Liu Yi who was lying in his arms.
"You have cold sweat on your forehead."
"Your Highness, wake you up! I just had a nightmare. ”
"Oh, what did you dream about?"
"Dreaming of war, flames and blood. Your Highness, why did the Han Dynasty have to fight with the Southern Tang Dynasty and Western Qin? Can't we live together in peace as we do now? We are all Han Chinese, and we all have Yanhuang blood flowing in our bodies. ”
"Xiao Mo, you don't understand, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, we have to return to our homeland, and we will inevitably have a battle with the Tang Li family. Okay, Xiao Mo, don't think about it, I'll wipe your sweat and go to sleep quickly. ”
Liu Yi gently wiped the cold sweat on Chen Fang's forehead, saw that he was a little depressed, and hugged him in his arms.
"You don't have to be afraid, I won't let you go to the battlefield, you just stay by my side."
"Okay, Xiao Mo, no matter when it comes, I will protect you, as long as I Liu Yi is here, I won't let anyone hurt you."
Liu Yi hugged Chen Fang tightly, in order to let Chen Fang relax his mind, kissed Chen Fang, comforted Chen Fang, and let Chen Fang taste her tenderness and love, taste her tenderness and warmth.
The second day was already bright, Chen Fang woke up, Liu Yi personally served him to get dressed, at this time saw that Chen Fang's complexion had recovered a lot, he took care of his collar with his hands, and personally combed his hair with a wooden comb and tied it up.
"Your Highness, how can I let His Highness serve!"
"You are my man, and I should serve you."
Chen Fang wondered a little in his heart, as the princess of the Northern Han Dynasty, why was Liu Yi's method of serving people so skillful! It's like she's been a maid.
